This is one of my favorite recipes for grilled shrimp. It begins with a simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice and spices. Try it and I think you’ll like it.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. oregano
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- Minced Italian parsley for serving
- Lemon slices for serving
Method:
- Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate the shrimp for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours max. Don’t leave the shrimp in the marinade longer than 2 hours because the acidity of the lemon juice will “cook” the shrimp.
- Skewer 4-6 shrimp on each soaked skewer and place on a plate while skewering the remaining shrimp.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until the color is pink and shrimp is opaque.
- Serve warm sprinkled with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
